the system right now there is completely fucked, it's pretty much a joke that companies get 100% of the cash from channels most watched videos because they claim that less than 1% of the video might belong to them and fair use is completely gone from the platform, there is no such thing anymore with the content ID system, you can't dispute why you are using the content... it's just struck instantly, I'm just grateful that we had things like the Nostalgia critic when youtube did allow that sort of channel being there but now I feel bad when I think about some of the older videos that I enjoyed but now think back to which shitty company is claiming ad revenue because they might have included a 5 second clip of some old movie in a 30 minute video.
Given the fact that the content id system can see which portions of the video features content being id'd then if it's a 20minute video with a 10 second portion which is copyright material then I'd be fine with 1/120th of the revenue going to the company as that's the % of the video they're responsible for.
